LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

regret that circumstances over which
had no control prevented my attending
the Art Exhibition given by Mrs. d. w.
Stuckey and her pupils last Saturday.
I'm told, however, that the work on
exhibit was very beautiful and very
well done. Mrs. Stuckey is very capa-
BILE teacher, as well as an artist, and is
conscientiously painstaking in the train
ing of her pupils, all of whom seem to
have some talent land others morel for
the work. 1t is good thing to see peo-
pie interested in the cultivation of the
arts. There is always too much of the
6 idle hand business in most of COM
munities, and it's hopeful sign to find
girls take kindly and industriously to
occupation of the hands and brain. It's
great deal of stimulus to the great
mass of inertia that naturally comes into
the life of the girls who have plenty of
time and don t know what to do with it
and who, if they have nothing to live for
themselves, manage to know all about
what their fellow mem and women are
living for. There is great deal of
talent of diversified kind in this COM
munity all we need is little more of
human science and the law of develop
ment. We have a great many musicians,
some of them very fine ; and consider
able progress has been made in art
Some of you are very good elocutionists,
but aside from that, literature has drop
ped by the wayside on barren rocks.
There are surely brains here capable,
and as surely need of progress in that
direction.
The heirs in the Small will case TRIED
in our Court last week wisely settled
their differences among themselves. The
trial of this case gave our attorneys the
opportunity to display their logical force.
Their tact and ability both in examina-
ton and argument, would compare
favorably with those of any other por-
ton of the State, and be excelled by
none. The medico-legal fraternity were
given a rare chance to spread themselves
in diffusion of knowledge that was
befogging to everybody else. The
average man will listen with open mouth
ed wonder to physiological and psyche
logical dissection of his inner man,
couched in terms that are as Choctaw to
him /; but bless you, he don't understand
bit of it. And the stenographer who
is called upon to write after you the
skeleton forms of sounds of words that
are utter aliens to the regular vocabu-
larry, feels like rising up and calling you
blessed. No matter; I've got views from
you that wouldn't part with for any
thing.

Cuts Out the Heirs.

New YORK, April 3O.-A conveyance oI
all the residuary estate of Samuel J. Til,
den, exceeding probably $1,000, 900, has
has been made to the Tilden trust, and
was filed to-day. 1t is made by theexecu-
tors and trustees of the will. The Tlden
trust undertakes in this document to ap-
ply the part 50 conveyed to the establish
ment and maintenance of free library
and reading room in New York City, and
to save and keep apart asuficieut sum out
of the property to secure against loss any
of the other trusts appointed by the will
from any shrinkage of securities.
Leading lawyers are of the opinion that
the action OF the executors in making this
conveyance will prevent the Tilden heirs
from getting any part of The residuary es-
tate even though they win the suit now
pending.

AN ALIBI
Proved by One of the Alleged Assaulters of
Jennie Bowman.

Proved by One OF the Alleged Assaulters OF
Jennie Bowman.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 3O.-ShOrtly
after midnight, this morning, Edward Pat
terson, one of the alleged murderers Of
Jennie Bowman, On being informed that
the troops were quartered in front of and
about the Jail, exclaimed: ''Thank God! l
knew that my prayers would be answered.
Pm an innocent man and can prove an
alibi."
In reply to a question as to what evi-
dence be could produce to support his alibi
he said: ION Thursday morning, the day
Of the assault on Miss Bowman, was at
the Maple street depot when the Bards-
town train arrived, at 10 o'clock. After
the arrival of the train 1 walked to
Twelfth and Madison streets (abOut four
blOcks) and met Willie Woods, q coal
wagon driver, on his way with load OF
coal to Magazine street. We talked few
minutes about a woman, and Woods asked
me TO go along with him. l went and
stayed with him until after lie delivered
the coal. Then we went to wOman's
house on back street and stayed some
time. / told this story to Chief Whallen,
but he would not look it up for me-"
A reporter Immediately started out to
hunt up Woods, and about . o'clock this
morning found him, On being told what
Patterson said, be stated that he had de-
livered load of coal at No. 23l7 Magazine
street, and on his way there had met Pat
terson at the corner Of Twelfth and Madi-
son, about half-past ten, but he did not
remember whether il was on Wednesday
(the day before the asSault) or on Thurs
day.
The reporter then visited the house Of
Mr.. Christ O'Connor, book-keeper for
O'Neil & Co. (for whom Woods drives,
and after getting him out of bed told him
that the life of Patterson depended upon
what he was going to ask him. The re-
porter asked him to go with him and ex-
anime the coal ticket referred to by
Woods. If the date of the ticket was April
81, then PattersOn's alibi was established
and he was innocent, and if on the day pre-
,vious, he had lied.
Mr. O'COnnor willingly consented 10 20
to the Oflics, and, hurriedly dressing him
self, jumped into hack with reporter
and drove to the office. An examination
of the delivery book showed that the load
of coal was ordered on April Goth, but not
delivered until the following morning.
The ticket was then examined and the
fact was established that Patterson had
told the truth, and that the Chief of the
i
ascertain what truth there might be in
PattersOns assertion that he could prove
an aibi, even though he knew that it was
almost certain that Patterson would be
lynched The coal ticket read as follows:
S. w. Corner Third and Market streets,
Louisville, April 2lst, 1887: Received of
O'Neil & Co., cart No. 700, % bushels

Presidents letter was given to the press

before it was printed in the newspapers
He says there is n desire on the part of GER

no matter how hard the ball was
hit, it rolled only few feet
after striking the earth. Keefe was hit
harder than ever before. The Philadelphias

iour runs on four urtwo-baggers and two bases
on balls, and the visitors had scored once
on Wards double and COnnOr's single,
